Some friends hosted a wine and cheese tasting party last night and asked me to bring some cheeses. I took a blue that is over 1 year old and very “mature”, I took the cheese we made in a recent class at a local creamery, there was a very dry white cheddar that just crumbles into wonderful, salty flavor, a Camembert that is ready to eat (for sure). But, the real prize was a blue cheese made raw milk. It was my first ever raw milk cheese. I wanted to age it for 6 months, but it had passed it’s 90-day mark a few days ago and I cut a nice wedge from it.
Absolutely wonderful. Probably my best Blue ever. Maybe my best cheese ever. This is what it is all about.
I’ll go through my notes and post the recipe, and I’ll try to get a photo later today. But, I just had to brag about that cheese this morning.
